Scope
This first part of ETS 300 374 defines the Intelligent Network Application Protocol (INAP) required for support of Capability Set 1 (CS1). Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol.

-
The SACF/MACF rules are defined in prose. When TCAP appears in one of the following figures. the only standardized way to encode the resulting PDUs is the Basic Encoding Rules (see CCITT Recommendation X.7 (Signalling System No. see CCITT Recommendation X. The INAP (as a ROSE user) and the ROSE protocol have been specified using ASN.1.7) and in the Q.1. For each physical scenario. the typical SRF control procedures to be applied are shown in subclause 7. the ROSE Application Protocol Data Units (APDUs) are conveyed in Transaction sublayer messages in Signalling System No.
. The INAP is a Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) user protocol (see CCITT Recommendations X.931 FACILITY and Call Control messages in DSS1 (see ETS 300 4031 [8]). The interface between remotely located SCF and SDF is INAP using TCAP which in turn uses the services of the connectionless SCCP and MTP (see figure 1). Other supporting protocols may be added at a later date. The SDF is responsible for any interworking to other protocols to access other types of networks.

At present. the definition of the actions taken at each entity (Clause 7).1
General
Definition methodology
The definition of the protocol is split into three Clauses: the definition of the Single/Multiple Association Control Function (SACF/MACF) rules for the protocol (Clause 5). Therefore the protocol is defined assuming maximum distribution (i.1215).208 [14]). This does not imply that only Signalling System No.209 [15]). see ETS 300 196-1 [4]) and the Component Sublayer of the Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP. One (DSS1. and the actions are defined in terms of state transition diagrams. NOTE 1: At present. see ETS 300 287 [5]).219 [16] and X. The figures depicted in this subclause show how INAP would be supported in an Signalling System No.2
Example physical scenarios
The protocol supports any mapping of functional to Physical Entities (PEs). The ROSE protocol is contained within the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. Further guidance on the actions to be performed on receipt of an operation can be gained from Clause 6 and from the relevant detailed procedures in Clause 7.7 network environment. The operation definitions are in Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN. the definition of the operations transferred between entities (Clause 6).e. It is the responsibility of network operators and equipment manufacturers to decide how to co-locate FEs to the best possible advantage as this may vary between manufacturers and between network operators.3.Page 18 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994

(based on the order of received primitives). The Single Association Object (SAO) represents the SACF plus a set of ASEs to be used over a single interaction between a pair of PEs. each of which interacts with an SAO in a remote PE.

4.1 Definition of ETSI INAP compatibility mechanisms Compatibility mechanism for interworking of ETSI INAP and ITU-T Q.6. This synchronization takes place before the new function is invoked in either application entity.1 Compatibility mechanisms used for INAP Introduction
This subclause specifies the compatibility mechanisms that shall be used for INAP.e. i. it is acceptable that the addressed function is executed in either the older or the modified variant. For major changes.1218 [12] INAP. If the change is purely additional. For minor changes.1218 [12] version of CS1 INAP. compatibility with future versions of ETSI INAP. the requested IN service will not be provided if one of the application entities does not support the additional functionality.1218 [12] which is not part of the ETSI INAP or is part of the ETSI INAP but which contains parameters which are not part of the ETSI INAP: the SSF shall apply the normal error handling for unknown operations or parameters.2 Procedures for major additions to ETSI INAP
In order to support the introduction of major functional changes. In case it is a modification of an existing function.
The second category has three sub-categories of compatibility dealt with in this subclause: minor changes to the ETSI INAP in future standardized versions: a minor change can be defined as a change of a functionality which is not essential for the requested IN service. tagging of ETSI INAP additions to ITU-T Recommendation Q. a new AC is not required.6.2. the SCF shall apply the normal error handling for unknown operations or parameters except for parameters in the InitialDP operation. network specific changes to ETSI INAP: these additions may be of either the major or minor type for a service.6. in this subclause referred to as ETSI INAP to avoid confusion with INAP according to ITU-T Recommendation Q.2 4.6 4.1218 [12].Page 28 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 4. in order to avoid complicated

Additionally. the additions would not be expected to be included in identical form in future versions of the ETS. those not included in the ETSI INAP shall be ignored. a new AC is required. In case it is a modification of an existing function. No new AC is expected to be defined for this type of change. the normal error handling procedures as specified in Clause 10 shall be followed. it is acceptable that it is not executed at all and that the peer Application Entity (AE) need not know about the effects of the change. major changes to the ETSI INAP in future standardized versions: a major change can be defined as a change of a functionality which is essential for the requested IN service. All parameters specified in ITU-T Recommendation Q. At the time of definition. If the change is purely additional.6.1218 [12] are specified from 30 downwards to avoid overlap with future additions in ITU-T Recommendation Q.2. Two major categories of compatibility are handled by these mechanisms: compatibility with the ITU-T Recommendation Q.1218 INAP
On receipt of an operation according to ITU-T Recommendation Q. 4. both application entities shall have a shared knowledge about the addressed functional variant.1218 [12] for InitialDP shall be known by the SCF. the protocol allows a synchronization between the two applications with regard to which functionality is to be performed.

1 at the outermost level of a type definition.
The method of indicating that operations are to be synchronized is to include them in the same message.2.1400 [13] for a definition of this mechanism.

Abstract syntax of the CS1 INAP
This Clause specifies the abstract syntax for the CS1 INAP.2 Sequential/parallel execution of operations
In some cases. The solution chosen to achieve such a synchronization is use of the AC negotiation provided in ETS 300 287 [5]. or reject the message. Refer to ITU-T Recommendation Q.1 has not yet been ratified by ITU-T. Operations which may be synchronized are: charging operations may be synchronized with any other operation.6. This extension field is defined as a set of extensions. and the TC-User does not wish to continue the dialogue.1 as defined in CCITT Recommendation X. If the AC is not acceptable. In case of inconsistency between the above mentioned generic rules and the FE-specific rules as specified in Clause 7. This mechanism implements extensions differently by including an "extensions marker" in the type definition.

5.4
This mechanism is based on the ability to explicitly declare fields of any type via the Macro facility in ASN. When an entity receives unrecognized parameters that occur after the marker. but simply that where it could make sense to do so (in the situations identified above) the operations should be synchronized. The extensions are expressed by optional fields that are placed after the marker. is reflected in the first backwards message. 5. if acceptable. it may be necessary to distinguish whether operations should be performed sequentially or in parallel (synchronized). the FE-specific rules take precedence over the generic rules. 4. As in the ISO case. It works by defining an "ExtensionField" that is placed at the end of the type definition. Where it is impossible to execute one of the operations identified above until some other operation has progressed to some extent or finished. Each extension is associated with a value that defines whether the terminating node should ignore the field if unrecognized. it may provide an alternate AC to the initiator which can be used to start a new dialogue. the marker is placed within a comment for now so that it can easily be uncommented later. This method does not imply that all operations sent in the same message should be executed simultaneously.2.Page 29 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 fall-back procedures. the sending PE (usually SCP) can control this by sending the operations in two separate messages. they are ignored. NOTE: Because this version of ASN. similar to the comprehension required mechanism described in the previous subclause. TCAP AC negotiation applies only to the SCF interfaces.

4.3 Procedures for minor additions to ETSI INAP
The extension mechanism marker shall be used for future standardized minor additions to INAP.

The scope of this ETS is limited to the shaded area in figure 22. The SRF FSM handles the interaction with the SCF FSM and the SSF FSM. Figure 23 shows the SRF FSM structure. The relationship between the Bearer Connection Handling and the SRF FSM may be described as follows for the case of a call initiated by the SSF: When a call attempt is initiated by the SSF.3. an instance of an SRF FSM is created. The management functions related to the execution of operation received from the SCF are executed by the SRF Management Entity (SRME).2 Model and interfaces
The functional model of the AE-SRF is shown in figure 22. 7.
NOTE:
The SRF FSM includes several Finite State Machines.3 Relationship between the SRF FSM and maintenance functions/bearer connection handling
The primitive interface between the SRF FSM and the maintenance functions is an internal interface and is not subject for Standardization in CS1. The operations and parameters of INAP are defined in Clause 6 of this ETS.

In particular. the SRME: 1) interprets the input messages from other FEs and translates them into corresponding SRSM events. and sending messages received from the SRME to the SSF and SCF. and formatting. In addition to the above tasks. The FEAM functions include: 1) 2) establishing and maintaining the interfaces to the SSF and SCF. which explains the need for a single entity that performs the tasks of creation.

Finally. multiple initial requests may be executed concurrently and asynchronously by the SRF. passing (and queueing when necessary) the messages received from the SSF and SCF to the SRME. invocation. translates the SRSM outputs into corresponding messages to other FEs. and handles the activity test functionality for the SCF-SRF relationship.

the SRSM queues the operations and awaits an event (such an event would be the completion of the operation being executed. the maintenance functions are informed. then the SRSM returns to Idle state after ensuring that all resources allocated to the dialogue have been de-allocated. it executes it immediately. if there is an error in processing one of the operations in the sequence. the SRF FSM processes the error according to the rules given in subclause 10. In what follows. whose purpose is to prevent excessive call suspension time. unlike the states and events. if the dialogue with the SCF (direct SCF-SRF case) is terminated. the SRSM examines subsequent operations in the sequence. the outputs are presented within smaller rectangles than the states are.Page 95 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 7. and it is processed as follows: the SRSM processes the operations in the order in which they are received. the error could be reported by the SRF to the SCF using the appropriate component (see ETS 300 287 [5] (ITU-T Recommendation Q. Finally. Each state is discussed in the following subclauses. When a Cancel (for PlayAnnouncement or PromptAndCollectUserInformation) operation is encountered in the sequence in state User Interaction. In any state (except Idle). Generally. The SRSM has an application timer. T SRF. or reception of an external event). then the SRSM clears the call and ensures that all SRF resources allocated to the call have been de-allocated. the SRF FSM processes the error (see below) and discards all remaining operations in the sequence. the SRSM transits to the Idle state ensuring that all SRF resources allocated to the call have been de-allocated.2 (using TC-U-REJECT or the operation error UnexpectedComponentSequence). In all other cases. This timer is set when the SRF sends Setup Response bearer message to the SSF (SSF relay case) or the AssistRequestInstructions operation (Direct SCF-SRF case). if there is an error in a received operation. the SRSM remains in the same state in which it received the erroneous operations.4 The SRF Call State Model (SRSM)
The SRSM is presented in figure 24.e. Then it transits to the Idle state. The SRF shall remain connected to the SSF as long as it has PA operations active or buffered. however different error treatment is possible in specific cases as described in Clause 8.774)). each state is described in a separate subclause together with the events that cause a transition out of this state. One component or a sequence of components received in one or more TCAP messages may include a single operation or multiple operations.

Once the bearer control signalling has reached the assisting SSP, it triggers on the identity of the called facility, and initiates an interaction with the SCP that has requested the assistance (it would also be possible to trigger on other IEs such as the incoming address). The bearer control signalling shall contain information to identify the SCP requesting the assistance, and a correlation ID. This information may be hidden in the address information in such a way that non-message based signalling systems may also be used to establish the bearer connection to the assisting SSP. After the AssistRequestInstructions is received by the SCP, the procedures are the same as case a). Figure 28 illustrates the preamble involved.

Page 102 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 Case d) does not require the establishment of a second transaction from the assisting exchange, hence it need not be an SSP. This then becomes a preamble to the procedure shown in figure 27 as shown in figure 29.

Figure 29: Preamble for Assist case with external IP and direct SCP-IP messaging Case e) merely requires the sending of an operation to the first SSP to route the call to the handed-off SSP, and then figure 26 applies at handed-off SSP. This is shown in figure 30. The activity at handed-off SSP represents a new interaction with the SCP and AssistRequestInstructions is used. Once the bearer control signalling has reached the assisting SSP, it triggers on the identity of the called facility, and initiates an interaction with the SCP that has requested the assistance (it would also be possible to trigger on other IEs such as the incoming address). The bearer control signalling shall contain information to identify the SCP requesting the assistance, and a correlation ID. This information may be hidden in the address information in such a way that non-message based signalling systems may also be used to establish the bearer connection to the assisting SSP.

The end user interaction procedures allow: the sending of one or multiple messages to the end user by using the PlayAnnouncement operations; a dialogue with the end user by using one or a sequence of PromptAndCollectUserInformation operations; a combination of the above; and cancellation of a PlayAnnouncement or PromptAndCollectUserInformation operations by using a generic Cancel operation.

7.3.5.2.1

There are only two physical scenarios for user interaction: a) the SSP relays the operations from the SCP to the IP and the responses from the IP to the SCP (SSF relay case); and the operations from the SCP to the IP and the responses from the IP are sent directly between the SCP and the IP without involving the SSP (Direct SCF-SRF case).

Page 104 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 It is also necessary to consider the capability of Signalling System No.7 TCAP to concatenate several Invoke PDUs in one message. This capability allows, for the scenario in figure 26, the ConnectToResource and the first PA/P&C to be carried in one message. This has some advantages in this physical scenario, such as reduced numbers of messages, and possibly better end-user perceived performance. 7.3.5.3 SRF disconnection procedures

The disconnection procedures are controlled by the SCF and the procedure used is selected based on the needs of the service being executed. The bearer disconnection procedure selected by the SCF is to either allow the SRF to disconnect on completion of user interaction, or to have the SCF explicitly order the SSF to disconnect. SRF disconnect does not cause disconnection by the SSF/CCF back to the end user terminal unless the transaction with the SCF has been terminated, indicating the user interaction completed the call. The SSF/CCF recognizes that a connection to an SRF is involved because the operations from the SCF for this purpose are distinct from the operations that would be used to route the call towards a destination. There is no impact on bearer signalling state machines as a result of this since incoming and outgoing bearer signalling events are not simply transferred to each other, but rather are absorbed in call processing, and regenerated as needed by call processing. Therefore, to achieve the desired functionality, call processing need simply choose not to regenerate the disconnect in the backward direction. Figure 33 illustrates this concept.

Figure 33: Relationship of incoming and outgoing signalling systems to call processing As for the SRF connection procedures, the SRF disconnection is affected by the physical network configuration. In order to simplify the interface between the SCF and the SRF, a number of assumptions are made. The assumptions, and the resulting rules, result in unambiguous procedures from both the SCF and the SRF points of view. The rules, presented below, refer to the SRF originated disconnect, or "SRF Initiated Disconnect", and to the SCF originated disconnect, or "SCF Initiated Disconnect". While other scenarios are possible, they are not included because they either duplicate the functionality presented below or they otherwise do not add value from a service perspective: a) if a series of PA/P&C operations are to be executed by the same SRF, then SRF disconnect is inhibited for all but the last and may be inhibited on the last PA/P&C. When a subsequent PA/P&C is received, it is buffered until the completion of any preceding PA/P&C;

but the current and any buffered PA/P&Cs are executed. The SSF/CCF knows that it is an SRF disconnecting and does not continue clearing the call toward the end user. the SSP shown in figure 34 is the "handedoff" SSP.3. and returns to the "Waiting for Instructions" state. after an EstablishTemporaryConnection which is not followed within a reasonable time period by a PA/P&C operation). The SRF discards any buffered operations and returns its resources to idle. This sanity timing value will depend on the nature of the interaction the SRF supports and should be selected by the network operator accordingly. SRF initiated disconnect

7. When the SRF receives a PA/P&C enabling disconnection.3.1
The SRF disconnect procedure is illustrated in figure 34. the SRF is disconnected and the SSF releases resources and handles the transaction between the SSF and the SCF as specified in ITU-T Recommendation Q. the SCF shall either explicitly order "Disconnect" or enable SRF initiated disconnect at the end of the PA/P&C. but does not disconnect the SRF. the SCF shall ask the SRF to inform it of the completion of the User Interaction using the SpecializedResourceReport operation for "announcement complete" or using the return result for the PromptAndCollectUserInformation operation. An SRF interacts with one user only and therefore cancelling a PA/P&C only affects the user to which the SRF is connected. An SRF left connected without a PA/P&C to execute may autonomously disconnect if it has not received any PA/P&C operations within a defined time limit (this could occur. The SRF disconnect is enabled by the SCF within a PA/P&C operation. when SRF initiated disconnect is enabled in a PA/P&C. when SRF initiated disconnect is not enabled. for example. and then initiates the SRF initiated disconnection using the applicable bearer control signalling. then the SRF shall disconnect on completion of the user interaction. when the SCF explicitly orders the SSF to disconnect by DisconnectForwardConnection operation. The SSF returns to the "Waiting for Instructions" state and executes any buffered operations.

and the Direct SCF-SRF case is not shown. Since the SCF (which initiates the disconnect). the procedures also work in the same manner.3. and then initiates the SRF initiated disconnection using the applicable bearer control signalling. knowing that the forward connection was initiated as the result of an Establish Temporary Connection.5. a "pre-arranged" end may be used to close the transaction. The Initiating SSF/CCF knows that it is an SRF disconnecting and does not continue clearing the call toward the end user. the initiating SSP. The Initiating SSF returns to the "Waiting for Instructions" state and executes any buffered operations. the SCF shall request and receive a reply to the last PA/P&C operation requested. This does not preclude the use of explicit end messages for this purpose. on receipt of the Disconnect Forward Connection from the SCP. they are synchronized. it completes the dialogue as instructed by the PA/P&C. The SRF disconnect is enabled by the SCF within a PA/P&C operation. The SCF initiated disconnect procedures described in the following subclause are used for the Assisting SSF case. Once the DisconnectForwardConnection operation is received by the SSF. The SpecializedResourceReport operation contains an "announcement complete" and return result for P&C contains "collected information. using applicable bearer control signalling. it will initiate a "release of bearer channel connection" between the PEs containing the SSF and SRF. For the Direct SCF-SRF case.

To initiate the SCF initiated disconnection of the SRF. The initiating SSP. When the SRF receives a PA/P&C enabling disconnection. 7.Page 106 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 For the Assisting SSF case.3. the SRF initiated disconnect procedures are not used because the Assisting SSF remains in the "Waiting for Instructions" state and does not propagate the disconnection of the bearer connection to the Initiating SSF. does not disconnect back to the user but returns to the "Waiting for Instructions" state.2 SCF initiated disconnect
The SCF initiated disconnect procedure is illustrated in figure 35 (bearer messages are shown with dotted lines). the SSF (which instructs bearer signalling to disconnect) and the SRF (which receives disconnect notification via bearer signalling) are aware that disconnect is occurring. The figure shows only the Assisting SSF case. For Assisting SSF case. disconnects forward to the assisting SSP.

the procedural scenarios can be mapped as given in table 4.4 Examples illustrating complete user interaction sequences
The following figures and their accompanying tables provide examples of complete sequences of user interaction operations covering the three stages: connect the SRF and the end user (bearer connection) and establish the SCF-SRF relationship.

The Assisting SSF scenario involves straightforward procedural extensions to the basic cases shown above. The integrated SRF and SSF relay case requires a transaction between the SCP and the assisting SSP (figure 39) but the SCP direct case does not since the transaction is directly between the SCP and the IP connected to the remote exchange. This case is shown in figure 38. including the one the IP (SRF) is connected to.

. A number of counters will be allocated and reset. 9.1. 9.1. i.1 Invoking entity (SCF) Normal procedure
SCF precondition: (1) SLPI detects that service filtering has to be initiated at the SSF. The SSF then proceeds as described for "ServiceFilteringResponse". That causes no state transition in the SCME. or alternatively the criteria with the largest number of parameters specified.1. To change the parameters of an existing service filtering entity the SCF has to send an ActivateServiceFiltering operation with the same "filteringCriteria".e.1. "filteringCriteria". "filteringCharacteristics" "filteringTimeOut" and "startTime" are modified as provided in the operation. The SCME remains in this state until the application timer in the SLPI expires. In the case of the "startTime" that has not been met yet. SCF postconditions: (1) SLPI starts an application timer to monitor the expected end of service filtering. If there is no already existing SSME FSM for the "filteringCriteria" provided then a new SSME FSM is created. The SCME is informed by the SLPI about timer expiration. the service filtering will be continued at the specified point in time.3 9. When a call matches several active "filteringCriteria" it should be subject to filtering on the most specific criteria. If no errors occurred after receiving an ActivateServiceFiltering at the SSF an empty return result is sent to the SCF. This SSME FSM enters the state "Non-Call Associated Treatment" and initializes the service filtering for the specified IN calls. the criteria with the longest "callingAddressValue" or "locationNumber".1 Responding entity (SSF) Normal procedure
SSF precondition: None. In the case of the "startTime" that has not been met yet.3. The service filtering process is stopped if an already expired "stopTime" or "duration" equal to ZERO or a new not yet met "startTime" is provided. "filteringCharacteristics".2 Error handling
Generic error handling for the operation related errors is described in Clause 8 and the TCAP services which are used for reporting operation errors are described in Clause 10. If the service filtering proceeds then the SSME FSM remains in the state "Non-Call Associated Treatment". Sending the ActivateServiceFiltering operation causes a transition of the SCME from the state "Service Filtering Idle" to the state "Waiting For SSF Service Filtering Response".

the relationship is ended and all concerned resources are released. 9. it investigates whether or not the "locationNumber" is present in the initial address message. The SSME FSM remains in the state "Idle Management". If the relationship is still in existence. then the SSF will respond. 9. then the SCF will assume that the SSF has failed in some way and will take the appropriate action. the service filtering data remains unchanged. 9. after which the ActivityTest operation is sent to the SSF.1 ActivityTest procedure General description
This operation is used to check for the continued existence of a relationship between the SCF and SSF. Generic error handling for the operation related errors is described in Clause 8 and the TCAP services which are used for reporting operation errors are described in Clause 10.2 9. If an ActivateServiceFiltering operation is passed to the SSF with the "filteringCriteria" "addressAndService" with both "callingAddressValue" and "locationNumber" present. In case there is already an existing SSME FSM.1 None. duration time for service filtering. If the SSF finds that the "locationNumber" is absent.2 9.2.2. If no errors occurred after receiving an ActivateServiceFiltering on the SSF an empty return result is sent to the SCF.1. Error handling

Charging scenarios supported by core INAP
This annex provides information on how the different charging capabilities in INAP CS1 may be used. determining the items to be charged. accounting). Charge registration process (REG): updating the charge meters or creating call records or both. First some terminology concerning charging processes and charging capabilities is listed.Page 203 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994
Annex B (informative): B.
.1 Off-line charging
The usage and/or charge information of the call is recorded in the network.2. B. Charge generation process (GEN): generation of charge pulses or charge related signalling or charge related information for the off-line process. specific charging operations have to be transferred via the INAP.3
Charging processes
Following considerations apply to the case of one service and one network. When for an IN call the charging processes in the SCP have to interwork with the charging processes in the SSP.

4. Both the SCF and SSF should register this in the call record. Charging data can be output to magnetic tapes or datalinks. The SCF need not know whether the SSP is a transit or a local exchange. that no charge is to be raised. for the same call instance there should be a correlation between both call records to allow the off-line billing process to correlate them.3 Scenario 3: IN Charging shared between IN and PSTN
In this case. There is no call record generated at the SSF or SCF.4. For this mechanism. no INAP operations are required. B. the principles are the same. In case call records are registered at both SSF and SCF. and meters in the LE to count the charge pulses. Each of the following scenarios shows a possible charging configuration for one of the parties.1. In the LE.1) or both (scenario 2.
.4. some charging related functions have to be executed during a call instance. For this purpose the SCF should generate a unique correlationID and send it to the SSF.3) or SCF (scenario 2.1 Scenario 1: IN charging completely in the PSTN
In this case (scenario 1). on operator request or scheduled. SCF or any other IN FE. the charging for services may be split between several parties. but the SSF-LE interface will be internal rather than by network signalling. the service access code.2).2 Scenario 2: IN charging completely in the IN
In this scenario. The control of charging is always at the SCF.2. B. B. but call records may be registered at either the SSF (scenario 2. For each of the scenarios (and therefore for each charged party) there is only one point of control for IN charging per call. The PSTN will determine from e. either a charge meter can be updated or a standard call record can be generated. the SCF has control of the charging information and instructs the SSF on the charging information to be sent by the SSF (scenario 3. the charging is done completely in the IN nodes. international exchange.Page 204 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 Charge Output Process (OUT): output of charging data for further processing.4
Charging scenarios
In an IN structured network. SCF.4. Off-line charging/billing/accounting process (OFC): a FE which processes the call records retrieved from the other FEs (SSF. The choice of scenario for each charged party is a network specific option.1. such as using the service access code to determine the tariff. Scenarios may be combined to give the total charging capabilities required for a service.4).1.1 Charging scenarios related to off-line charging
To support the off-line charging process. LE) to prepare the bill for the subscriber or to support other accounting processes. the charging is done by the existing charging mechanisms in the PSTN.g. 2. B. as no charging functions are performed by the SSF.
B. and all accounting will be performed at either the SSF or the SCF. If the SSF is a LE.

If this charge information is not delivered to the LE (i. then the SSF informs the SCF on what has happened and the SCF performs the necessary processing of the charge information.Page 205 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994
Figure B.g. This on-line charging process may cause additional signalling traffic and processing load in both the IN and the PSTN/ISDN. e.g.4.2). and possibly instructs the SSF what to do next (e. The LE uses this information at the UNI. scenario 2 and 4 in case SSF not in LE).1: Scenario 3 B. This means that at the user/network interface charge related information (like charge pulses or signalling information) have to be offered. or the SL (e. a threshold is reached. clear the call).g. payphone or AOC).e. inform the SCF when the charge reaches a certain amount).4. charge rates need to be changed at certain times to all or dedicated destinations. When SCF controls the charging and on-line charging is required for a call instance.1) or SSF (scenario 4. this information may also be used for on-line charging.4 Scenario 4: Charging at the SCF. assisted by the SSF
The SCF has the relevant charging information to apply charging and instructs the SSF to calculate the call charge. i.e. then additional IFs are needed for on-line charging. The calculated call charge can be registered at either the SCF (scenario 4. thresholds. or per call instance dependent on the duration of the conversation or the service interactions involved. To avoid additional processing and signalling in the network it may be useful to apply the on-line charging selectively (i. B. only on the calls for which it is necessary.1. scenario 3.2 Charging scenarios related to on-line charging
Apart from the scenarios supporting the off-line charging.e. In that case the same configuration described in scenario 3 could be used to transfer the charge information in addition to the off-line charging related scenario.
. If the charging is controlled by the SCF. For IN calls. Flexible tariffing is a concept used in many networks.e. based on serviceKey. user service profile or user interaction). it shall be possible to offer the charge information to the LE.g. Included in these instructions are the conditions on which the SSF should request further information from the SCF (e. When the call has finished or e. some networks require scenarios to support the on-line charging capability. the SCF should be able to change the charge rates in the network. scenario 4 in case SSF in LE). If this charge information is delivered to the LE for call recording purposes (i.g. Whether on-line charging is required or not can be determined by either: an on-line charging indication from PSTN/ISDN to IN.

1 Case 1: charging information from SSF FSM-B to SSF FSM-A
This interaction occurs when SL-B causes a charge pulse or signalling information from SSF FSM-B to SSF FSM-A.5. case 3: case 1 and case 2. Based on criteria supplied by the SCF. the selected option will remain during the lifetime of the call instance for the call party. B. In this case the SCF instructs SSF to use normal charging processing. international exchange or dedicated service exchanges).
There are three options identified to handle this type of interaction.Page 206 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994
B. 2) after receipt of a specified number of messages of the appropriate type.5
Interactions
Interactions concerning the charging of an IN call can occur in the following cases: 1) 2) B. and to notify the SCF. the SL-A should select one of these options. the SSF will send this information to the SCF: 1) immediately after receipt of the appropriate message type. Option 1: In this option SCF has control of the charging information and instructs SSF to monitor and intercept the charge related signalling message(s) (from ISUP and not charge pulses) received from a higher exchange. Based on criteria supplied by the SCF. the SSF will send this information to the SCF: 1) immediately after receipt of the appropriate message type. For a call instance controlled by the SCF. According to the general requirement "there is only one point of control for charging per call party per call".1 a higher exchange generating charge related signalling towards the SSP. Interaction occurs in the following cases: case 1: SL-B causes charging information from SSF FSM-B towards SSF FSM-A.5. For a call instance controlled by SL-A. B.2. Option 3: Same case as for option 2 except that the SCF does not wish to monitor the charging events. There are three options identified to handle this type of interaction. call parties controlled by different SLs.2 Call parties controlled by different SLs
This is the case for e.g. UPT to UPT or UPT to VPN calls. Subsequently SCF may use this information performing its charging control (use the received charging information in the call record generation or to adjust new charge rates/pulses to be sent to the SSF for on-line charging). then the principles will be the same. the SCF should select one of these options. or 3) at the end of the call. but the SSF FSM-A/SSF FSM-B interface will be internal rather than by network signalling. or 3) at the end of the call. NOTE: If both SSF FSMs reside in the same SSF. Interactions with other networks concerning charging control
This is the case when SSF receives charging-related signalling from a higher exchange (e. 2) after receipt of a specified number of messages of the appropriate type. case 2: SL-A causes charging information from SSF FSM-A towards SSF FSM-B. send charge signalling information and/or charge pulses through to the LE and/or update charge meters according to the received charging information from the higher exchange. the selected option will remain during the lifetime of the call instance for the call party.g. According to the general requirement "there is only one point of control for charging per call party per call".5.g.
. Option 2: The SCF may also decide to leave the charge control to the higher exchange and monitor the charging events. e.

Page 207 ETS 300 374-1: September 1994 Option 1: In this option SL-A has control of the charging information for the A-party and instructs SSF FSM-A to monitor and intercept the charge related messages received from SSF FSM-B and send it to the SL-A.5.

2)
If both SSF FSMs reside in the same SSF. To handle this type of interaction the same options apply as case 1 (i. SL-A may use this information performing its charging control (use the received charging information in the call record generation.2. the SSF will send this information to the SCF: 1) immediately after receipt of the appropriate message type.2.5.
B. send charge signalling information and/or charge pulses through to the LE and/or update charge meters according to the received charging information from the SSF FSM-B. charging scenario(s) are pre-defined per service. or 3) at the end of the call. B. Option 3: Same case as for option 2 except that SL-A does not wish to monitor the charging events. SL-B selects one of the options).2 Case 2: charging information from SSF FSM-A to SSF FSM-B
This interaction occurs when SL-A causes a charge pulse or signalling information2) from SSF FSM-A to SSF FSM-B. 2) after receipt of a specified number of messages of the appropriate type. but the SSF FSM-A/SSF FSM-B interface will be internal rather than by network signalling. Based on criteria supplied by the SL-A the SSF will send this information to the SL-A: 1) immediately after receipt of the appropriate message type. or 3) at the end of the call.g. e. adjust new charge rates/pulses to be sent to the SSF FSM-A for on-line charging mechanism). the processes OFC and OUT are not listed in the framework. B. Based on criteria supplied by the SCF. then the principles will be the same.3 Case 3: charging information from SSF FSM-A to SSF FSM-B and reverse
This interaction occurs when both SL-B causes a charge pulse or signalling information 2) from SSF FSMB to SSF FSM-A and SL-A causes a charge pulse or signalling information2) from SSF FSM-A to SSF FSM-B.6
Framework for the charging operations in INAP
In general: the starting point for the INAP work on charging is one service and one network. This interaction can be managed by a superposition of the principles given for the cases 1 and 2. The decision to perform DET/GEN/REG in the SSF or SCF can be made on a per call basis by the SCF. Subsequently. as they have no impact on the scenarios defined. and to notify the SL-A. In this case the SL-A instructs SSF FSM-A to use normal charging processing. Option 2: The SL-A may also decide to leave the charge control to the SL-B but monitor the charging events.e.
. 2) after receipt of a specified number of messages of the appropriate type.
